Accepted Answer

Not really: There are several causes for such reading, viral infection is the most common, may be medications you are on, etc. Also other readings on the report as differential count, platelets count l, Hb, which I assume are fine.

Question 3

my white blood cell count was 6.25... is this normal or low? is it okay to take prednisone for poison ivy with this wbc count?

Accepted Answer

You're fine: Normal WBC. I trust lymphocyte and neutrophil counts were fine also. Take the prenisone for the poison ivy only if it's so bad you can't sleep otherwise. We're glad to help.

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: i cannot tell anything from the information you provided. Why did you have a blood count done? To evaluate it requires the entire CBC (complete blood count). Please resubmit with additional data.

Question 6

White blood cells: There is no recommendation that white blood cell count should be performed empty stomach. There will no significant affect.

Question 7

does wbc/white blood cell count have a different term on the lp/csf report? (i only see lymph, neut, mono, total nucleated cells) is wbc one of those?

Accepted Answer

WBC differential: Leukocyte count or total nucleated cells is WBC count and lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophills are the different types of the white blood cells

my red blood cell count is 3.6 and wbc is 3.4. hgb is 8.5, hct is 27.5. mcv, mch, mchc all low also. very weak, body aches. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These numbers indicate that you are quite anemic. You should see your doctor or a gastroenterologist to determine if you are having any blood loss in your digestive tract. If you are not, it may be related to your monthly blood loss, if it is excessive. Regardless, you need to act on this immediately, since your blood counts are quite low. Good luck.

Question 9

what can my white blood cell count be?

Accepted Answer

In most labs: Range runs from 4 to 10.5.

Question 10

low white blood cell count, implications?

Accepted Answer

Many: Depends on how low the count is and what other symptoms and signs are associated with it and what caused the low count. A common risk is propensity to infections. See this site for more info.
